The Folly of Continued Warfare
War is not a pleasant or noble task, nor is the sport of gentlefolk in their clear and neatly pressed uniforms. The image of young rugged face with a cool determination and a five ‘o’ clock stubble is as much myth as anything we have in fairytales. Courage is limited to how many people this person has been able to kill. He has physical courage to be ruthless and at the same time devoid of all other forms of courage. This is the kind of soldier that is expected to be the force sent to the front lines in every war. A soldier that is able to come home on a weekend pass and act like a perfect hero, then when leave is over return to lay waist to the enemy. With the message in his mind that every enemy killed is one less, the duty is clear and should never be questioned. Diplomacy is just a word, a farce and a pointless delay to a fight that should never be avoided. The enemy is evil and must be eliminated one body bag at a time.
To kill or capture the enemy is the theory that is has been promoted since the outset. Such theories are fine if you are a person totally devoid of any inhibitions to killing. In other words you must be able to kill without hesitation and suffer no remorse. To kill a human is easy but to kill an idea is not. To kill an ideal with a bullet or a bomb is nearly impossible. You must eliminate all who believe in that ideal. This is not a job for soldiers who shake your hand, or return home to work in the office beside you. This is a job for an assassin and butcher. It is a job for someone that can mercilessly destroy cities and execute civilians. We on the home front do not like the slight smear of blood when we shake hands with this people. We want them to do their work, kill whom they need to, eliminate the ideal. Even if that ideal live in the mind of a small child it must be removed, blow away the brain the hold and protects it, then leave the useless corpse as warning to others. This plan is perfect and will work because one more dead person is one less person holding the ideal.
You speak of martyrs and revenge; we know only one concept eliminate the evil by any and all means. More dead now will mean less dead later. So even if our enemy becomes enraged by seeing its people humiliated and tortured; wild at the site of their dead children, we still must continue. It is too late to turn back now, the hate us. They hate for killing them and their children. They hate us because we are good. That is why we destroy their cities, take their oil profits, torture their people because we are good and must survive. Even if we must wipe out the entire population we must survive because we represent all that is good in the world. It is too late, war can never be stopped because if we stop then they will say we were wrong. Do you want to hear that we were wrong?
Do not look into the soul of your leaders, they know best and you should feel thankful that they are here to protect you. They will protect you by killing more enemies and if we must, we will resort to genocide. We will do this to save us for the future because we are good.
